| Synopsis Eating 15 worms in 15 days sounds pretty gross, but Billy decides it's worth it since he stands to win $50 from his friend Alan, if he can accomplish the disgusting deed. Billy is given the option to smother the worms in anything he likes--from ketchup to peanut butter and he can even have the worms cooked up in a variety of ways including fried, boiled, and grilled. Alan is quite confident that Billy will lose the bet. After all who could eat one worm, let alone 15? However, when it seems that Billy can devour anything set before him, Alan sets out to sabotage Billy. Will any of Alan's nefarious schemes succeed in getting Billy to lose the bet? This humorous look at the life of boys explores the honor of keeping one's word and the edibility of the common nightcrawler. Illustrated with B&W drawings. Two boys set out to prove that worms can make a delicious meal.
Publisher's Note A perennial kids' favorite since its first publication in 1973, How to Eat Fried Worms is the story of Billy, who, because of a bet, is in the uncomfortable position of having to eat fifteen worms in fifteen days. The worms are supplied by his opponent, whose motto is, unfortunately, "The bigger and juicier, the better!" Industry Reviews Booklist | See an error? Submit a change request | ||||||||||||||||||
